Notes

The script was typed in by me, Quinn "The Eskimo!", by watching a video of the movie and typing in each line. I would like to thank Andrew Nielsen, whose VCR I ruined in the process of transcribing this. I would like to thank the people who broke into our house and stole the VCR and thereby ensured that Andrew didn't kill me for ruining his VCR.

All of the script structure, as described in the table of contents above, is a figment of my imagination and most probably bears no resemblence to the real script's structure.

If you have any comments or criticisms of the script or this TOC, please let me know.
